Continuing that trend, today let's flip sides and look at the defense. However, we'll kick it up notch and give you 12 future great defensive duos stemming from this 2013 recruiting class. These defensive duos are going to team up with one another at their positions and help their schools shut down some serious offenses.

Batman and Robbin. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Eric B and Rakim...If you have a dynamic duo, then clearly you can accomplish some big things.

Reggie Chevis and Jordan Mastrogiavanni, Texas A&M

I like both of these 'backers and Chevis is a "sleeper" type. Both guys stand 6'2", weigh close 230 pounds and move pretty well. Mastrogiavanni is a deceptive athlete and Chevis is a good run-stuffer.

Look for these two and other Aggie LB commit Brett Wade to be stalwarts in the middle of Kevin Sumlin's defense. While the Aggies will be scoring a lot of points, they should also be solid defensively in the future too.

Aside from the fact that Lawson is a flat-out awesome prospect, another reason Auburn wants to keep him so badly is because he would fit well with Bower.

Bower is a 6'5", 240-pounder that really is an edge-setter. He can play the run very well due to being strong and stout. Lawson can play the run well too, but the 6'2", 252-pounder is such an explosive pass-rusher.

So it's a great potential fit if these two both wind up on The Plains.

Although the 6'2", 200-pound Willis prefers to play CB, he's likely to be moved to safety. That should work well in Westwood as he will be alongside his good buddy Goodman, who can easily play SS or FS.

Goodman is the more physical of the two, so he can be deployed to the box at times and leave Willis free to roam the back end. UCLA is stoked about the future duo these two should make.

Greg Gilmore and Maquedius Bain, LSU

Anytime you can land a 6'5". 285-pound DT with great athleticism, quickness and strength, then you're happy. Yet, when you can land two of those type of guys, then you're downright giddy.

Bain and Gilmore both will likely be in the 6'5", 300-pound range soon and LSU will have two anchors in the middle of its defense at the DT position. Les Miles has struck DT gold this recruiting class.

Tim Williams and Jonathan Allen, Alabama

The Crimson Tide defense is such a powerful unit and we expect it to be dominant every year. This past season, while good, many felt it lacked a dominant pass-rusher.

I'd imagine Allen and Williams will be coming in looking to change that. Williams is a 6'4", 230-pounder with great length, quickness and deceptive strength.

Allen, from Virginia, is a 6'3" edge defender that has gotten him bulk over 250 pounds already. Can you imagine the terror these two will present when an offense breaks the huddle and sees each guy on the opposite sides of one another?

Su'a Cravens and Leon McQuay III, USC

The USC defense is going through a scheme overhaul and also an attitude overhaul. The safety position also is going to be wide open.

Cravens and McQuay, two of the top safety prospects in the country, are already on campus and will practice in the spring. The 6'1" Cravens is almost 210 pounds and has amazing instincts and athleticism.

McQuay, 6'2" and nearly 183 pounds, is more of ball-hawking, roaming type with great hands. These two have the talent and the contrast of skills to be a perfect fit.

They should make a great duo.
